Frogs seen from magnolia?!
Question: Frogs seen from magnolia!?
did this really happen in real-life before and whats the scientific reason behind it!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
Charles Fort reported the phenomenon, and it has been recorded elsewhere!. It can occur for various reasons!. For "Magnolia", the writer/director chose to make no explanation, only that this sort of thing does happen!.
There has been a lot of discussion about this scene at the IMDB site!. Here are some forum excerpts:
From a nonbiblical standpoint, the frogs were supposed to be representative of the mindboggling coincidinces that came to define this movie!. The raining of the frogs was also supposed to reinforce the theme of intertwined relationships, as all of the characters were in one way or another affected by this incident!.
The frogs are a weird, random event that PTA (writer/director) based on certain real-life occurrences in which freak weather conditions lift the contents of ponds or other small bodies of water and deposit them elsewhere in an apparent "rain" (type 'rain of frogs' into Wikipedia for more info)!. It is my contention that one of the themes of "Magnolia" is human beings' need for explanations for things that seem unexplainable and their inability to accept mundane explanations for things (i!.e!. they'd rather hear "God did it" than "It was the result of unusual weather conditions!.")!. When it was pointed out to PTA that the rain of frogs at the end of the film carried similarity to the plague of frogs in Exodus 8:2, PTA recognized this as an opportunity to enforce his point about this need for explanations!. Christians would attribute this act to God, desperate as they are to see everything in the context in which they feel the most comfortable!. So, really the frogs' ultimate explanation is left to the (culturally mediated) judgement of the viewer, and people who see God in them are really just projecting their belief in God onto the things that they experience!.
It was pretty well-explained!. They zoomed in on the painting captioned "But it did happen" as if to say that the frogs had no further significance than any other event in the movie!. It was actually pretty well-timed IMO, right around the time you're thinking to yourself "wtf!?" it just pops up: "But it did happen!." I liked that!.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!.!.!.
I hope this helps!. There are a number of explanations for falls of strange objects, from frogs to fish, from beads to practically any item that can be picked up by tornados, waterspouts, etc!.
